            <h3>about</h3>
            <p><a href="http://xmpppy.sourceforge.net/">xmpppy</a> is a 
              <a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a> library 
              that is targeted to provide easy scripting with <a href="http://www.jabber.org">Jabber</a>.
              Similar projects are <a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/words/">Twisted Words</a>
              and <a href="http://jabberpy.sourceforge.net/">jabber.py.</a></p>
            <p>This library was not designed from scratch. It inherits some code from 
              jabberpy and have very similar API in many places. Though it is separate 
              project since it have almost completely different architecture and primarily 
              aims to work with jabberd2 - the new Open Source Jabber Server.</p>

              or alternatively you can grab the latest version directly from CVS tree
              by typing the following commands:

                cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xmpppy.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xmpppy login
              </blockquote>
              (hit "enter" when you will be prompted for password)
              <blockquote>
                cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xmpppy.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xmpppy co xmpppy
              </blockquote>
            </div>
            <p>You can also browse xmpppy (and several xmpppy-based 
              projects) CVS online <a href="http://xmpppy.cvs.sourceforge.net/xmpppy/xmpppy/">here</a>.</p>
            <p>If you have an RSS feed reader, there is
